Figures released Monday by the Iranian stock trading organisation showed that the value of investments by foreign shareholders of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) and its subsidiary Farabruce reached 181.83 trillion rial (nearly $200 million) through July 22nd.
The figures cited in the ISNA News Agency report showed that foreign investment in Iran’s stock markets increased 91% over the period compared to late July 2024.
Data showed that foreign business institutions invested RI 167 trillion RI to buy TSE and Farables stocks from late July to late July, while individual investments reached over RI 14.8 trillion in the same period.
The number of foreign shareholders registered in the two markets increased by 5.3% to 5,100, of which 3,339 were corporate shareholders and the remaining 1,709 investors were individuals.
This figure is because the Iranian government struggles to inject more capital into local stock markets to prevent investors from escaping after the market reacted nervously to a 12-day war between Iran and the Israeli regime.
A report published in local media on Monday showed that the TSE main index fell 21,851 points, slightly above 254 million points.
That’s because they hovered the index by about 2.8 million points in mid-June before the Israeli war on Iran began.
